Smriti Khaannaa has spoken out against age shaming, particularly the way it is normalised on reality shows in the name of entertainment. She believes using terms like “uncle” and “aunty” to mock contestants reinforces unhealthy attitudes towards ageing and sends the wrong message to viewers. Stressing that growing older is a natural part of life, Smriti urges people to value experience, wisdom and individuality over youth, adding that a person’s worth should be measured by their character and talent, not their age.
